Prince of Wales Hospital Structural Heart Registry

Structural heart disease refers to a group of cardiac defects other than coronary artery disease. Structural heart intervention is a rapidly growing field in cardiology. In the past decade, there has been paradigm shift in the management of structural heart disease from conventional open-heart surgery to transcatheter interventions. With increasing evidence supporting structural heart interventions including transcatheter aortic valve implantation or transcatheter edge to edge repair, there has important updates in recent guidelines in treating structural heart disease. Besides, new device innovations bloomed over the past few years and had expanded the possible treatment options for high surgical risk patients. Some breakthrough devices had been approved recently by the US Food and Drug Administration and some other devices are occasionally used on compassionate ground. However, there has been lack of data in structural heart interventions in Asia Pacific regions outside Japan \[8\]. In this study, we would like to analyze the epidemiological trends, patient characteristics, procedural outcomes and clinical outcomes of structural heart interventions, and compare them with historical cohorts, matched cohort receiving medical therapy and matched cohort receiving open heart surgeries.

Inclusion Criteria: * All patients undergoing structural heart interventions at the Prince of Wales Hospital Exclusion Criteria: * Patients that are not able to consent.
